Mtambo says he is not becoming a pastor: “Not true, its fake news”

Former Human Rights Defenders Coalition chairperson Timothy Pagonachi Mtambo has dismissed as fake reports that he is to be installed as an Associate Pastor at Jesus Nation Church, the church led by Prophet Shepherd Bushiri.

Several news outlets and social media posts claimed that Mtambo, who has reportedly declared himself born again, had decided to dedicate his life to preaching the Gospel and winning souls for Christ worldwide.

When contacted, Mtambo laughed off the story, calling it “manufactured” and saying there was not a grain of truth in it.

“Not true, its fake news,” said the former activist, whose political journey has taken him from street protests to government.

He said he was not heading for the pulpit.
